Ummm, right. The key here in Texas is that, unless you are engaged in commercial activity not otherwise exempted by Texas statutes, a CDL is NOT REQUIRED based solely on tow or towed vehicle weights. As your post states, the Federal standards kick in when "...they operate in interstate, intrastate, or foreign commerce if they drive a vehicle that meets any of the classifications of a CMV described below." That's why they're called COMMERCIAL Driver Licenses. Unless they are engaged in commercial activity, RVs do not meet this requirement, and no CDL is required in Texas.
As I stated previously, check out and conform to your home state's driver license requirements for your particular vehicle, and you'll be fine.
